Deryk Engelland can expect a call from Shanny

This is why I like the NHL; a player dishes out what I would classify as a dirty bush league check on an opposing player. His teammate who happens to be trailing the play takes issue with the questionable hit and challenges the offending player to a fight. In this case Blackhawks heavy weight John Scott, reacted appropriately to the questionable hit, came to his teammates...

The Case For Suspending Deryk Engelland

Just because we're a fan blog, doesn't mean we can't have differing opinions like human beings... It's understandable why this post was made. Derek and/or Adam (no idea who wrote it) is a Penguins fan and, especially with the Pens defense suffering from every injury right now, it would hurt the Penguins if Engelland missed any time. It's also tough watching...

Deryk Engelland will probably be suspended because his borderline hit was on national tv.

Eddie Olsucks and Keith Jones got all jammed up about this hit. So was the panel of assholes from TSN:   Shut up Bob Mckenzie. Is Bob Mckenzie a league official? Didn't know he makes personal decisions now. If this was just a run of the mill ROOT sports broadcast, does this even get attention? We'll expect...

Engelland Earning Playing Time

Deryk Engelland dropped the gloves again Monday against Phoenix. He scored another highlight-reel knockout too. Both are becoming familiar occurrences for the Penguins defenseman. Engelland has 10 fighting majors so far this year, second in the NHL. He’s scored impressive wins over legit heavyweights Colton Orr and Jody Shelley. But, truth be told, Engelland’s brought...

Pens Re-Sign Engelland

It certainly doesn’t count as a “big” move, but the Pens shored up their defensive depth by re-signing Deryk Engelland. He’s big (6’2”, 200), physical and isn’t afraid to drop the gloves. A career minor-leaguer, Engelland fared well enough in 9 games with the Pens this season to get another look. He had 11 points and 121 penalty minutes in 71 games with Wilkes-Barre...
